edubase_delete_exam_certificates

DestructiveIdempotent

Stop issuing certificates for an exam while retaining its configuration, allowing certificate issuance to be re-enabled later without recreating settings. Already issued certificates remain valid.

Instructions

Stop issuing certificates for an exam. The configuration itself is kept, so the certificates can be enabled again later with edubase_post_exam_certificates. The already issued certificates are not revoked. The settings cannot be changed while the exam is locked.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare destructiveHint and readOnlyHint, but the description goes further: it discloses that the configuration is kept rather than deleted, that previously issued certificates remain valid, and that the operation is blocked while the exam is locked. These are meaningful behavioral details beyond the annotations and make the actual side effects much clearer.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three short sentences with the core action stated first, followed by the most important behavioral caveats. Every sentence adds distinct value and there is no redundant wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a single-parameter tool with an output schema and annotations, this description is complete: it states what the operation does, what it does not do, how it relates to the sibling rollout tool, and a relevant locking constraint. No critical context appears missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The only parameter, 'exam', is already fully described in the schema as 'exam identification string' (100% coverage). The description adds no new parameter-specific meaning, which is acceptable given the high schema coverage, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific, actionable verb phrase: 'Stop issuing certificates for an exam.' This clearly names the resource and the state change, and the additional detail that existing certificates are not revoked and cannot be re-enabled via edubase_post_exam_certificates sets it apart from sibling certificate tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context for when to use the tool and what it is not for. It explicitly names edubase_post_exam_certificates as the way to re-enable certificates, states that already issued certificates are not revoked, and warns that settings cannot be changed while the exam is locked. This gives the agent actionable routing and exclusion signals.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
